Youth Against Climate Change: Cool It

Call for Ideas Fund – Sharing and Pitching Session‏

The National Environment Agency (NEA) has launched a new funding scheme, Call for Ideas Fund (CIF), which provides co-funding for innovative and creative projects that meet NEA Strategic Outcomes and promote environmental ownership in the community. Co-funding is up to a maximum of $20,000 or 80% of total project cost.

The CIF will support projects that seek to resolve environmental challenges and problems in the local community, and the development of mobile applications which enable open and easy accessto environmental information so that the public can make informed choices and decisions in their daily lives. The CIF comprises two tracks – the Active Citizenry Track and Mobile Applications Track, more info at http://app2.nea.gov.sg/grants-awards/3p-partnership-fund/call-for-ideas-fund.

To help you find out more about CIF, Ecosystem is inviting NEA to share more about the fund. You can also pitch your ideas to NEA during the session and see whether it is suitable for funding and assess the response from the audience. Each person is given 5 mins to pitch.
